Voxeliq Engine

Hi there all!, I'm the new guy in the town and will be posting updates on my engine.

Disclaimer: This is not meant to be a minecraft rip-off, clone or anything. I'm just building it for fun - which I need thanks to my boring day-time job Smiley Yet again, I'm testing myself to see what I'm capable of. Hope I'll not flamed for it Smiley

Voxeliq Engine is a Minecraft-like block-engine which is not even in alpha-stage. So I'll be not be posting any testable-executables any in near future Smiley

Still I capture ingame videos frequently and I'll be posting them here once I capture new ones.

Info

Status
  • Improved infinitive terrain implementation
  • Better & optimized memory usage
  • Ingame chunks: 1089 ~ 35 million blocks.
  • Basic lightning – though kinda buggy & incomplete.
  • Shiny textures
  • Skydome (with generated clouds), fog, flying support.
  • Basic shovel ~ block build/crack support.

thanks, actually notch himself tells in his reddit IAMA that he's looking to see more for the genre Smiley

On myside I also think that block engines can host more gameplay types and so far it's all fun!

I'd like to see a block-based world that's not open-world/sandbox/procedural, but instead a more focused games with designed levels.

Here’s a screenshot from latest code;



Right now I’m working on major fixes for the engine, especially for the parts I’m not happy with. Here’s a quick change-log.
  • Fixed terrain generator interface, generators do now accept a Biome structure and apply it after initial terrain generation.
  • Started implementing a chunk-cache. Before all chunk management was done within World which harder to maintain. Chunk-cache will be the interface between world and actual chunk-storage and will be also responsible for re-caching.
  • Fixed a major mouse elevation & rotation input bug. yay Smiley
  • Added a cool fps-graph widget, will be adding more.

Upcoming fixes
  • I’ll be further improve chunk processors, queues and so. Will be trying to fix that chunk-recache lag.
  • Lightning needs far more work, it’s quite slow and buggy.

I'd like to see more voxel engines with diagonal planes with actual collisions.

Video 7 - Bloom Effect

Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTvzKK2TqmQ

  • Added a sample bloom effect though it's over applied in magnitude.
  • Replace how block memory is handled. Now blocks are stored in a single huge array instead of array per chunks.
  • Few optimization on generation/lighting/building.

Looks good so far, but I think the bloom effect seems a bit too bloomy. How you compiling only one final blurred texture or are you combining multiple mipmaps?

Yea, I actually over applied the bloom effect intentional which I'll be fixing to normals. On your second question; yes one final blur.
